- So . . . I'm "feeding myself" in the morning from God's Word and thought I'd post what I'm chewin' on and make my "food" available for others who might want to nibble a bit. Hope it's of some benefit to you . . .
The word of God is living and active . . . (Hebrews 4:12)

Okay . . . Is it license or is it just uneducated freedom? Am I crossing some linguistic line? I don’t know the original languages of the Scriptures. All I have is my handy-dandy online bible and the brief definitions … Continue reading

The LORD Knows
Back to the beginning of my reading plan. A new bible open on my desk. Colored pencils at hand. Let’s a get a jump start on 2026. Something so grounding in these initial readings. Powerful reminders that God created (Genesis … Continue reading
Hand on Mouth (2017 Remix)
Sticks and stones may break my bones . . . and when the Almighty’s doing the name-calling, that’s gotta hurt too! Not that God harmfully throws down insults from heaven. But the One who searches the soul and spirits of … Continue reading

“Woman, Behold Your Son” (2018 Rerun)
It’s an annual experience. As best I can recall, the two words, “standing nearby”, have almost always jumped off the page when I’ve worked my way through this day’s reading plan. From the cross, Jesus saw His mother standing nearby. … Continue reading

He Delights in Steadfast Love
This year, reading through Micah has been particularly brutal. For some reason (a Holy Spirit reason?), I’ve been more impacted during this year’s readings by the relentlessness and heaviness of God leaving His “holy temple” and “coming out of His … Continue reading
The Temple Opened (2014 Rerun)
One of those mornings where, rather than write in my journal, I read from it. And these thoughts from 12 years ago stir my soul. What “infinite grace” . . . that I might enter a heavenly place . . … Continue reading

The Right Filter (2022 Remix)
Elihu presents the encore argument. Job’s other friends, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite are done talking. Though they came to Job to “show him sympathy and comfort him” (Job 2:11), in trying to make sense … Continue reading
No Famine in the Land
I’ve been working my way through the Minor Prophets. No beating around the bush with those guys. They don’t have a lot of papyrus to fill so they get their message out fast and they get their message out hard. … Continue reading
No More Tears
The fact of the matter is that I am less sure now of how the “end times” play out than I was 30 or 40 years ago. Then, I had it nailed and was ready to spot, identify, and check-off … Continue reading
Search Me O’ God . . . ‘Cause I’m Finding Nothing!
It’s complicated. Yup, that’s the story of Job. A man who God Himself repeatedly declares to be “a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil” (Job 1:8, 2:3). And yet, we know that there is … Continue reading
